Italy. Nos. 468-70, 472 may be middle Corinthian.

POINTED ARYBALLOI

With animals &c. Johansen has already pointed out A.
that nos. 474-5 are purely Corinthian (p. 166).

British Museum, from Ephesus (Hogarth fig. 60; 474
Johansen 166 no. 4). On mouth and base, rays. (1)
swan between lions (criss-cross manes). (2) running
dogs. Dot-rosettes. Louvre E 478, from Etruria 475
(Johansen p. 166). Mouth and base tongues. Cocks
grouped about snake; swan. Dot-rosettes and in-
cised lozenges in field. Delos (Dugas pi. 28, 373 476,7
and pi. 29, 374). Patterns as before. On one, owl
between sphinxes, panther; on the other, Boread;
on both, incised rosettes. Very rough style.

With linear patterns (late Protocorinthian-early B.
Corinthian). It has already been pointed out that
these vases are commonly found in Corinthian
graves, and that they occur at Selinus, but not at
Naukratis. We know, therefore, that they con-
tinued to be made in the Corinthian period, after the
Protocorinthian style had turned into the Corin-
thian (cf. p. 26 supra). There is practically no
evidence of the shape in the sixth century (cf. no.
802 a). The principal types are as follows:

1. With scales; the whole vase black, tongues incised 47^
on mouth, shoulder and above foot. The scales and
tongues black polychrome. Alternatively, as fig. 8 a; 478 a
no doubt typologically the later form, and generally
inferior in technique. This type is often found
without any traces of added colour.

2. With band-and-dot decoration, as fig. 8 b (cf. 479
Johansen pi. 42, 3; Mon. Ant. xvii, 41, &c. &c).
Late (?) variants, of heavy build: Dugas pi. 21, 144,
146; Mon. Ant. xxii, pi. 51, 6, &c.

3. Without dots (cf. the alabastra no. 376 a): Eph. 479 A
Arch. 1910, 289 fig. 9 b, from Bassae; cf. Delattre,
Nec. Pun. Colline St. Louis fig. 25, from Carthage;
J.H.S. 1910, 346 fig. 11, no. 8, from Rhitsona.

2 Unique shape, but cf. a vase in Cairo, Edgar pis. 5, 6.
